Critics Consensus

One of the weakest entries in the J-horror remake sweepstakes, One Missed Call is undone by bland performances and shopworn shocks.

One big miss of a horror movie.

For a would-be frightfest built around a supernatural premise, One Missed Call is so glum and businesslike that it's not nearly as much pulpy fun as it should be.

Those coming to One Missed Call in search of ground-breaking horror have definitely dialed the wrong number.

1.5/4.0

While not the disaster one might expect, the film remains one call you won't regret missing.

It's not even remotely scary, which leaves the horror fans out. But it's also way too boring to even poke fun at.

One Missed Call remakes Takashi Miike's 2003 film as undistinguished college-age horror, except it tries to exploit some people's fear of answering the phone into a feature-length premise.

Two and half stars because this movie is so bad it's hilarious. The death scenes are goofy and the cgi ghosts are so dumb. This movie is also a remake of a Japanese horror movie, which proves America should leave remakes alone. If you want a good or bad laugh this would be great. Honestly one of the dumbest and worst movies of all time.
